Both power bars and protein bars aren't good for you unless you may be a marathon runner. They are VERY high in sugar, many have more than the daily recommended intake for your whole days worth of sugar. They do have reduced sugar kinds, but in those there are 26g of sugar alcohol which messes up digestion. If you are on…

You need to eat more, but by more that doesnt mean anything and whatever just to eat more calories. Make sure you are getting more protein, and you are doing more strength training with more weight. The only way to build muscle is to overload the muscle. You need to lift more often, heavier weights, for longer sessions.…

THIS LOOKS DELISHHH: a little tip.. try with quaker quick or old fashioned oats...Instant oatmeal is simply thinly rolled oats which are then cut into very small pieces and pre-cooked by steaming. The oatmeal is then typically “enhanced” with oftentimes salt, sugar, and in some cases, preservatives. It’s then stuck in…

Hey girl, my younger cousin has been contacting me lately. she's sort of in the same situation as you. I give her my advice and i'll just let you know what I say. Stay away from fast food if you don't mind not eating it.. every once in a while is ok. Home cooked meals even if they aren't very healthy are 90% better than…

By telling you that you aren't eating enough has nothing to do with you, it just has to do with numbers. You will lose weight…

I'm a college student as well.. I just finished finals! I got through them much less stressed, because I was working out. I'm going to be blunt with you, saying you don't have time is a cop out. Make time for yourself. I work, go to two schools, and still make time to workout. On the other hand, I hit a plateau in my diet…

I eat breakfast within the hour I wake up. You don't have to eat something big, but it's good to get your metabolism working early. If your body knows your eating every few hours your metabolism should speed up. If your eating is irregular and at random times, your body will store fat and nutrients and save them to digest…

Every person's body has a different metabolism, and different rate of losing weight. I think since you are fairly young like I am you can eat a little bit more. Don't ever go under 1200, I promise once you start messing around with your diet more and more it will be easier to go under.. which isn't necessarily good. I was…
